The Yellow Court Classic The Yellow Court Classic ("Huang Ting Jing", 黄庭经), a Chinese Taoist meditation text, was received from the unknown source (according to a lore, as a Heavenly Scripture from the Highest Purity Realm) by Lady Wei Huacun, one of the founders of Highest Purity Tradition (Shangqing, 上清), in the 288 CE. The first reference to the text appears in the archives of the famous alchemist and collector of Taoist texts, Ge Hong (葛洪) in the 4th century CE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Court_Classic “God in the body” 黃庭內景經 … 多神崇拜 … Huang Ting's interior scene scriptures … the worship of many gods. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53618-the-reason-why-a-person-who-only-has-qi-in-his-lower-abdomen-cant-understand the-huang-tingjing/?do=findComment&comment=983174

monkeys and apes in Daoism 胡一桂 (Hu2 Yi1 Gui4) cited the source as 京房易傳. Houtian Bagua around 305 BC, at the end of the Warring States period. ~~~ The quickest way to tell the difference between a monkey and an ape is by the presence or absence of a tail. Almost all monkeys have tails; apes do not. Their bodies are different in other ways too: monkeys are generally smaller and narrow-chested, while apes are larger and have broad chests and shoulder joints that allow them to swing through trees (while some monkeys also have this ability, most of them are built for running across branches rather than swinging). https://www.britannica.com/story/whats-the-difference-between-monkeys-and-apes
